Enter the bill amount to calculate the tip.

How to calculate a tip

To calculate a tip, multiply the bill amount by the tip percentage (as a decimal). Then add that to the bill for the total:

Tip = Bill × (Tip % ÷ 100)
Total = Bill + Tip

Example: A $50 bill with a 18% tip:

Tip = $50 × 0.18 = $9.00
Total = $50 + $9 = $59.00

How much should you tip?

Tipping customs vary widely between countries. Here are common guidelines:

  • United States: 15–20% at restaurants, 20% for good service. Tipping is expected and often factored into servers' wages.
  • Canada: 15–18% at restaurants.
  • United Kingdom: 10–15% or a service charge is often included in the bill.
  • Europe (most countries): 5–10% or just rounding up the bill. Service is often included.
  • Japan: No tipping — it can be considered rude.
  • Australia: Tipping is not required, but 10% for excellent service is appreciated.

Splitting the bill

When you're dining with friends and want to split the total evenly, divide the total (bill + tip) by the number of people. Our calculator does this automatically — just adjust the "Split between" slider.

Round up feature

The "Round up total" toggle rounds the final total to the next whole number (e.g., $59.23 becomes $60.00). This is common courtesy in many countries and simplifies cash payments. The extra amount goes toward the tip.

Tips on tipping etiquette

  • Check the bill first — some restaurants include a service charge (especially for groups of 6+)
  • Tip on the pre-tax amount if you want to be technically correct, but tipping on the total is more common
  • For exceptional service, consider going above the standard percentage
  • Cash tips are often preferred by servers because they receive them directly

Frequently Asked Questions

What's a standard tip in the US?+

15–20% is standard at sit-down restaurants in the United States. 15% is acceptable for average service, 18% is common, and 20%+ is generous. For bars, $1–2 per drink or 15–20% of the tab is typical. Delivery drivers usually get 10–15% or at least $3–5.

Do I tip on tax or before tax?+

Technically, tipping on the pre-tax amount is more accurate since tax isn't part of the service. However, most people tip on the total amount for simplicity. This calculator uses the amount you enter — so decide which figure to input based on your preference.

Should I tip when service is bad?+

In countries where tipping is expected (US, Canada), it's still customary to leave at least 10% even for poor service, and speak with the manager separately. Withholding a tip entirely is considered extreme. In other countries, no tip for bad service is more acceptable.

How do I split a bill unevenly?+

This calculator splits the bill evenly. For uneven splits (e.g., one person had more expensive items), you'd need to calculate each person's share manually or use a specialized bill-splitting app. We may add uneven splitting in a future update!

Should tips be in cash or on the card?+

Both are acceptable, but many servers prefer cash because they receive it immediately and it's not subject to processing delays or company withholding. If you tip on the card, the server usually receives it within a pay cycle.

Is my data private?+

Yes! All calculations happen locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server or stored anywhere.
